THE BANK OF FRANCE
An Index Of the Prosperity Of the
Republic.
Msnagement-Over 800, 900, 900
Standing 70 Its CredIt-Its
Paper In Circulation and
Metallic Basis.

Bank of France is the largest and most
important of all the other banks in
Europe. Occupying very nearly the
same position in France as the Bank Of
England does in this county, it is in
many respects similar. and performs for
the country the same kind of duties.
The public moneys are deposited with
the Bank of France; it alone has the
sole right Of issuing notes for that
country. (This is what Sir Robert Peel
would have attached to the privileges
Of the Bank of England, if he had been
able; but usage and vested interests
were too powerfully Its capital is
possessed by proprietary whose ha-
bilities are of q similar nature to those
Of any other banking institution. 1t
opens accounts with properly introduced
persons, and keeps in its Golfers the
metallic reserves.
Having mentioned these analogies be-
tween these two great banks, there are
points where their conduct DIVORCES
The transactions OF the Bank Of En-
gland are on larger scale. owing to
the larger mercantile operations in this
country. The commercial habits Of the
French are plainly indicated in the
class of bill business which their chief
bank undertakes. During the whole of
last year it discounted no fewer than
1880. $50 bills under four pounds, most
Of them payable at private addresses
1t is an unusual thing for an English
banker to take bill under ten pounds,
and he will require satisfactory reasons
for discounting bills payable at private
addresses. 1t is presumed here that in
such case the acceptor can not be a
substantial man, or he would have q
banker. s. 3ifsA t',,Esis
Another point Of divergence again,
is in the government Of the bank, where
in the French have shown their belief in
the efficiency and effectiveness of gov
eminent control. Our own government
can not in any way interfere with the
operations of the Bank of England, ex-
cept in respect Of its note issue. The
French bank is presided over by gov
ernor, appointed by the government,
who also appoints the two deputy
governors. The three highest offices are
thus held by government men; and the
Office Of the governor is held for life. It
Is his duty to see that the obligations
